Preface
Fouling is the undesirable accumulation of material on a wide variety of objects such as medical devices, ship hulls, pipelines, membranes, as well as what is normally seen in most of the industries (paper manufacturing, food processing, underwater construction, and desalination plants etc.). The fouling material can either be living organisms or non-living substances (inorganic dusts, organic liquids). Fouling can occur almost anywhere and in almost all circumstances, especially where liquids are in contact with other materials, and is economically significant to the marine shipping, resulting in additional functional and monetary costs to various vessels which include reducing their fuel efficiency, increasing dry-dock maintenance costs, and reducing the
